3-day Screen Printing Bootcamp!

Join Anna Marrow for a fun, 3 day course, exploring various screen printing processes. We will cover hand drawn stencils and experimental mark making, paper stencils and mono printing. You will be guided through the process with the chance to play and amalgamate techniques to produce rich and exciting outcomes.

You will:

• Learn how to transfer hand drawn images onto the screen and print them.
• Learn how to use paper stencils to add blocks of colour.
• Learn how to mono print, to produce, free, colourful painterly prints.
• Learn how to combine all three techniques to produce rich, varied prints.

By the end of the curse you will have a basic understanding of the screen printing process. It will be fun, practical course with time for playful exploration.
